Monday 11th June Journal entry brought to you by Tami 40 minutes after I finally got to sleep, I had to wake up to get the stupid taxi to the stupid airport. Our taxi driver was clearly mental, she was totally in love with her cats, and I've never seen more cuddly toys in a car. She also said that she could never be away from her house for more than a night, and would never go outside the North Island, so until the two islands joined, there was no w...

Sunday 10th June 2007 Journal brought to you by Sophie We were supposed to check out today because we were going to sleep at the airport as our flight is at stupid o clock in the morning.

We stopped off at various places on the way that we had frequented before and then checked into ACB (the biggest hostel ever! It has about 550 rooms!). I went to the supermarket with Oli and Tami went on the i...

Thursday 7th June Journal entry brought to you by Tami Today was a wicked day! After nipping into town to get haircuts (Sophie's is hilarious, the woman just went snip happy and took out giant chunks!) and trying on Ug boots in a shoe shop, we spent the rest of the day luging.
